Okay who wants a star?
I'm getting ready to donate and since I already have one I figured I would give this one away?

Anyone?

1. You can do that? Wow.
I'd like a star, please. No, wait, I should get one myself. Or if someone gets me a star, I'll choose someone else to give a star to.

2. I do
I'd appreciate it. I would donate if I had extra $ cause I really think this website can do alot if it sticks around for awhile longer and gains more members. I think the General Election will be affected in sameway because of this site.

3. Is a star only good for one donation period?
In other words am I about to lose mine if I can't donate?

good one... yes, that's pretty much how it seems to be. I check occassionally to see who doesn't have a star on this thread. If 2 of us donate to get that star, all the better for DU!! :)

Edited on Mon May-10-04 01:17 PM by Misunderestimator
I didn't know you could designate another user for a star. I was planning to donate again in the drive this week to push the FLORIDA numbers up :)... but I'm willing to sacrifice the competitive spirit to help someone else out.

First to reply and it's yours :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

28. Hey, Underpants, have you been gone for awhile?
:hi:
I haven't seen your posts for a few days, thought you'd gotten lost or something. I was about to add a 'missing underpants' thread. Glad to see you here, again.

If anyone wants to donate a star for me I would greatly appreciate it. I had a star for a year but now it's gone. :cry: I look nekkid without my star.
I had a fight with my car and had to buy a new one...now I'm too broke to donate this time. :grr:

I'd donate myself but, I've been unemployed for almost a year now and the noose just keeps getting tighter here.

I usually lurk, though I am here everyday just to make sure that I am not the only one who didn't drink the kool-aid.

39. Me! Me! Me!
Here's my sad tale---both hubby and I are full-time students, and I work full time, and every $$ I earn that doesn't pay bills goes directly into Savings which will support hubby and I for the next 2.5 years while we're nursing students (full time that gives no option for working).

I would love to donate to DU, but unfortunately, I can't. I'd love to have a star, but I can't donate to get one.

I use DU alot for personal enrichment as well as for school (we always are having to write papers about the state of health in the US, or various health-care issue---which DU is full of). Without a star, I can't search for articles relating to the subjects I'm studying, and the papers that I use DU sources for always get me a good grade and accolades like "Great Story! More people should be aware!" or "I'm going to have to do more research on this myself. I've not heard about it. Thanks for giving me the heads up"

:)

I promise that in 2 years, when I'm a full-fledged nurse, making big bucks and putting IV's in everyone that wants one, I will give EVERYONE who wants a star a star, and I'll make a super-hefty donation to DU for all of the wonderful information this site has given me and many many others.

Thank you! Seriously---this means a whole lot to me!

Anyone unemployed, a college student, or just short on cash? It doesn't really matter why you can't donate at the moment. We've all been there and understand. Don't be shy. If you enjoy DU and want a star say you'd like a star. We have people here who will donate in your name.
